I recruit for banks all over Iowa and the Midwest and learn about many farm lending roles before they go public. If this position isn't quite right, contact me anyway, and we can talk confidentially about other openings that could fit.
How to apply: No cover letter needed. Just send your resume, or text/call me at 605-705-3077 or email logan.hovland@gogpac.com.
